Let's hear it for being AVERAGE!

Wooohooo! Olivia had a developmental assessment yesterday with three specialists at the Children's Therapy Center. This was recommended by the hospital when she was born because of her prematurity and the infection that she was born with. We don't get the official written assessment for a few weeks, but they did show us her "grades" and she was in the 50th percentile for babies her age. That means she is an AVERAGE six month old with no deficiencies or delays! YAY! Usually with premature babies they will use your adjusted age, which is when you should have been born, but they used her actual age and she still got an average score. I kind of had a feeling that she was fine but it was nice to hear it officially.

As you can see from this picture, she's learning to sit unsupported now. I'm so excited for this stage because then she can sit in a shopping cart, restaurant high chair, and eventually the swings at the park! It's kind of funny to watch because when she does lose her balance, she does a face plant right onto the floor. She hasn't yet learned to use her hands to break her fall!
